New Delhi: Bipasha Basu and her husband Karan Singh Grover will soon become parents. The couple announced their pregnancy on Tuesday with an Instagram post. Now, the actress has opened up about her pregnancy and has revealed that the couple had been trying for a baby before the COVID-19 pandemic, but they had to put the plan on hold. 

In an interview with Hindustan Times, the 43-year-old actress said that she was not taking up any kind of work as she wanted to have a baby. “The plan was definitely to focus on that in life. I was actually not taking up any kind of work, because I wanted to have a baby, then start working immediately again. It took me a little time. In 2020, we completely dropped the idea because we didn’t know where the world was going, so for one year, we took a break from trying. In 2021 we decided to try again, and God has been kind, we conceived,” Bipasha told Hindustan Times. 

Bipasha also recalled the day they found out about the pregnancy, she told she directly went to her mother’s house as she wanted to tell her first. “It was a very emotional day. I remember me and Karan ran to my mother’s house just the way we were, she was the first person I wanted to tell. Everyone was emotional. It was my mother’s dream that me and Karan have a baby. I always had faith we will, and it happened. I am more than grateful for this,” the actress was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times. 

On Tuesday, Bipasha made the announcement on social media along with photos showing off her baby bump.  

In the photos, Bipasha looks gorgeous in a white shirt. In one of the photos, Karan can be seen kissing her baby bump. She wrote: "A new time, a new phase, a new light adds another unique shade to our prism of life. Making us a little more whole than we used to be. We began this life individually and then we met each other and from then we were two. Too much love for only two, seemed a little unfair for us to see...so soon, we who once were two will now become three. A creation manifested by our love, our baby will join us soon and add to our glee. Thank you all, for your unconditional love, your prayers and good wishes as they are and will always be a part of us. Thank you for being a part of our lives and manifesting with us another beautiful life, our baby. Durga Durga."
